POST CARD CHALLENGE-WEEK 8~CUBA

Well this week brought a lot of new things to consider on this challenge-Should I use a well known Cuban figures such as Castro, Chavez, Hemingway, Arnaz ? Or really go out there and use the country side  specialities such as Mogotes, sugar cane fields, Yumuri Valley, coral reefs or better yet Guantanamo Bay... Well I choose Havana as my locale and especially the Tropicana Night Club. Enjoy.

FRONT of CARD

The inspiration of this card was from a vintage postcard
from the Tropicana Night Club in the 1950's. The lettering is
from the original card but the yellow psychedelic image was
hand drawn - The lady was cut out from the G45 paper line
Tropical Travelogue.

BACK of Card
Alex has heard back from Melite after several months of her being in therapy - He Writes:
Melite,
So glad to finally hear from you! I have been away on business (seems like I’m away from home constantly); this time I’m in Havana, Cuba. The shows at the Tropicana are amazing; but I hope they decide to purchase some of my products- it will bring their shows to a new level.   Anyways after consulting with several of my ‘medical friends’-I was advised that by me telling you my first name –it will not harm your recovery. Did not  want to cause  more distress.                
           Alexander

    The colors in this card are just stunning. How cool that you got some G45 paper in there. I would buy this post card in heartbeat if I saw it in the store.
